my opinion on this subject is that well 50 cent is someone i used to look up to along with these other guys like tupac and ice cube. the thing is though after a while it became disgusting they degrade women they talk about sex i remember one rapper talking about shooting a gun into a womens private part which i thought was absolutely the most disturbing thing i have ever heard but anyway the whole rap thing is good but lately ive really gotten into hymns and theyve really become like music to me i dont need regular music anymore i just seem to find one problem with hymns though is that they dont express certain emotions at certain times so theres no hymns to listen to to amplify my emotions
aghape,
chris
well amplifying ur emotions and hymns, well think bout it, if ur depressed , u turn on the radio and u heer all this garbage (which at the time u dont find bad coz u intake anything) then u will always look up to it in abad times and then u take it and listen to it normally and take in those words
but on the other hand whilst in times of depression or whatever u turn to hymns it calms ur spirit down and u get inner peace and God is on ur mind so it helps u out and comforts and if u keep turning to it it will b better its not wreking u lyk the other u get me?

i do recall making a topic just like this previously, and respoding to one like it when sylvia was here.... but every time i get a different answer... i personally dislike 50 CENT to say the least...thats extreme.... but i mean.... what about inspirational music that soothes u cuz u can relate to it, and they put into words how u feel...
like music with no cursing... there are some good songs out there if u get past the garbage, like "Because u loved me like celine dion". or for u i will by Monica, or hero by mariah carey, or i belive i can fly....lol
Arabic music is cool too... now i know most of u will now attack me and say imn worng and what not.... but i mean... u know... ya, well i've said all i gotta say pretty much...
ARABIC MUSIC IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No doubt!! :D..and its clean tooo! ;D

very well said :)
The way I think of it is whatever you do, see, hear, etc. is going to have an effect on you sooner or later. In this case it would be having a NEGATIVE effect on you. So why listen to stuff that doesn't honor God? Didn't Paul say to honor God in everything you do? And how is this honoring God?! :-\
It also says in his letters to the Corinthians: "All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful. All things are lawful, but i will not be brought under the power of any."(1 Cor. 6:12)
And how is this benifiting you in any way, to know and love God?
So i think just stay away from all nonsense and music like that, because it will end up having a negative effect on you in the long run..
God Bless! :)

i agree all the way. good verse too
i personaly used to never listen to this type of music because i thought if i listend to music that had curse words i would start repeating it, then i started listining to the edited versions that dont have any curse words. and in the last 2 years i have attempted to completely stop cursing. I think you know what kind of music might affect your actions.
be careful though when u listen to eminem because even though he is a great artist he sometimes has very disgusting songs that are also very inappropriate, which i think you defently shoudn't listn to.
he said that you can listen to music, but you have to be able to balance it out with tasbeha n alhan n taraneem n hymns n everything...
he also said some kinds of music are romantic and calms you down, while other types get you angry and aggressive...
